I was very excited when Beckett's first opened, and it was one of my favorite restaurants for a few months thereafter. I was a vegetarian for quite some time (now eat seafood), so I must admit that my experience with the menu is somewhat limited. I've always loved the red pepper soup and grilled cheese, and I did enjoy the spaetzle on the two occasions I ordered it. I guess Beckett's sort of lost its sparkle because there weren't enough options to keep me interested.
I've visited Beckett's with others who have tried the other dishes on the menu and have complained that many of them are very "hit or miss" regarding taste and quality of preparation. I visited a few weeks ago with my boyfriend (he is on the fence about this restaurant) and we left, well... satisfied.
When it's good, it's VERY good. When it's not, it's just "okay."
I really do like the owners and the concept. It's very cozy and has a pretty little patio. :-D
